Away With Our Fears!

Away with our fears!

The Godhead appears

In Christ reconciled

The Father of mercies in Jesus the Child.

He comes from above,

In manifest love,

Desire of our eyes,

The meek Lamb of God, in a manger He lies.

Immanuel's birth

What triumph on earth!

Yet could it afford

No better a place for its heavenly Lord?

The Ancient of Days

Redeems a lost race:

His glory comes down

Self-humbled to carry us up to a crown.

Made flesh for our sake,

That we might partake

The nature divine,

Again in His image, His holiness shine.

A heavenly birth,

Experience on earth,

And rise to His throne,

And life with our Jesus eternally One.

Then let us believe,

And gladly receive

The tidings they bring

Who publish to sinners their Savior and King.

And while we are here,

Our King shall appear,

His Spirit impart,

And form His full image of love in our heart.
